RE: [PHP] Parse Error(Newbie)

-----Original Message----- I know it is probably something obvious but the following gives me a parse error and as a newbie I am having trouble locating it. $query = "select * from news WHERE id = "$_get['id']""; -----Original Message----- Any time you end up with two " characters together is a pretty good indication of where you problem is. You might try this: $query = "SELECT * FROM news WHERE ID = '" . $_get['id'] . "'"; Alternately, and depending on what you're doing and why, it might be more effective to do this: $idstring = $_get['id']; $query = "SELECT * FROM news WHERE ID = '$idstring'"; Your choice...
